THE SUN GOD SWORD
Practicing Lightening the Body
The next day, Sungsang Geni came to Sabdo Jagat in a hurry. The arrival of the young man made Sabdo Jagat feel a little uncomfortable, of course, Sungsang Geni always came with unexpected surprises. And today he wished for no other surprises from the young man.
“Uncle Sabdo!” Sungsang Geni smiled small, “Can I come in?”
The Sabdo Jagat allowed the young man to enter his lounge. But his face was still visibly worried, the man could not sleep for a long night due to thinking about Sungsang Geni's plan yesterday afternoon.
“Isn't today very sunny uncle!” said Sungsang Geni, but for Sabdo Jagat the words sound like a mere pleasantry, because indeed in this place every day is always bright.
“Geni, do you have any other plans?” tanya Sabdo Jagat is suspicious.
“True uncle, I want you to teach me the science of lightening the body. Please make me your student.” Sunsang Geni replied, the young man then revealed his sweet smile.
Sabdo Jagat was silent for a moment. He had never had a disciple before, so this kind of request was the first time in his life. The man actually felt that Sungsang Geni did not deserve to be his disciple, in fact the young man was more powerful than anyone currently residing in the Snake Valley.
“Are you sure you want to learn the science of lightening my body?” tanya Sabdo Jagat, ensuring the determination of Sungsang Geni. “Actually this science can be learned by anyone, it's just that some people do not know the trick.”
“I see the science of lightening your body has been perfect, Uncle.” Said Sungsang Geni, “Without that knowledge, my fighting technique reduced by 30% at this time.”
Sabdo Jagat thought again for a moment, then found a good offer for Sungsang Geni. “I won't teach you the science of lightening the body, except..”.
“Except what uncle?” Cut Sungsang Geni, “I will obey uncle's wishes, whatever it is while not straying from the path of truth.”
“Really!”
“I promise!” sungsang Geni.
“Alright! Then you should marry my sister, Cempaka Ayu.”
Sungsang Geni suddenly fell silent, his mouth opened so surprised to hear the excitement of Sabdo Jagat. He did not expect Sabdo Jagat to ask for something that is difficult for him to do, marriage is not a mess.
“But uncle, i.”.
“Listen Geni, when the moon goddess came back out from inside her body. Who do you think will hold him apart from you?”
“Uncle, I don't think I'm getting married this fast. I heard marriage is sacred. We don't know each other yet, and we need time to get to know each other.”.
“Didn't you like my sister?”
Sungsang Geni let out a heavy sigh. Cempaka Ayu is indeed very beautiful, but Sungsang Geni did not think until too far until the wedding, he might get to know Cempaka Ayu slowly. They understand each other and decide whether they deserve to get married or not.
“Uncle, ma’afkan me. I can't accept this marriage, there are still many enemies out there who might one day kill me. She will be a widow, if it happens.” Sungsang Geni said with a quiver, “But maybe, if you allow, let us get to know each other first.”
Sabdo Jagat does not dispute the words of Sungsang Geni, which he said is true. He is too hasty to make a decision, but Sabdo Jagat believes that the two of them are bound to each other.
“Alright I'm not forcing, but may I ask you to take care of her!”
Sungsang Geni is back breathing a sigh of relief, “Of course uncle, I promise to take care of him.”
Unexpectedly, Cempaka Ayu heard the chatter of the two of them from behind the bamboo booth. He was a little disappointed Sungsang Geni refused his brother's request, but hearing the young man was willing to take care of him, Cempaka Ayu's heart suddenly flowered.
“Then I will teach you the science of lightening the body.” Close the Sabdo Jagat, then immediately move out of the hut.

“The first thing in the science of lightening the body is concentration and staying calm, if your mind suddenly just scum you will fall while at a height.” Sabdo Jagat began to explain the basics.
Sungsang Geni began to channel a little of his inner power into the legs as exemplified by the Sabdo universe, but nothing has happened at this time.
“What do you feel on your legs?” tanya Sabdo Jagat's.
“Slightly warm.”
“Then, make the warm air become cool air like the wind.”
Sungsang Geni then expressed coldness in his legs, not too difficult for the young man.
“If you have felt it, now is the time for you to control the inner force on the legs to lift your body.” Sabdo Jagat said while exemplifying.
Sungsang Geni again obeyed all the words of Sabdo Jagat, and unfortunately he could not do what the man ordered.
“Focus and concentration!” said Sabdo Jagat incessantly exemplify, now with ease the man's body lifted slowly.
Unsuccessful, Sungsang Geni looked annoyed at this moment. Then he trained for almost a day, until until tonight, Cempaka Ayu brought him a piece of yam and a glass of water to accompany him to practice.
“Have a minute!” said Cempaka Ayu, “I brought you food, it is not good to be too pushy.”
Sungsang Geni was a little disappointed to finish his training, today he has not managed to lift his legs even if only an inch. He was already convinced, that it was not easy to master the science, the proof was that only a handful could float.
“You are very lucky to be able to control the inner power as you please!” Sungsang Geni began to say next to the yam he had eaten.
“I couldn't thank you for unplugging my body.” Cempaka Ayu said with his head bowed, he was a little embarrassed to remember the incident the other day. “Not to thank, I attacked you!”
Sungsang Geni chuckled, making Cempaka Ayu's face turn red. “How did you do it?”
“What?”
“Lifting all things near you, it is not an easy thing!”
“So please, I just imagined that I have hands like tentacles. Then the energy in me flowed following my thoughts, and grasped those things.” replied Cempaka Ayu.
“Excellent, you have a strong mind.”Praise Sungsang Geni, making the girl blush even more.
“I'll give you a trick to master the science of lightening the body!” said Cempaka Ayu, with a sudden burst of head glancing at the eyes of Sungsang Geni. “I'm not sure this trick can work for you, but I can fly because of this.”
“Really? Show me? I'll be very grateful to you.” Sungsang Geni became enthusiastic.
“If you can't control the inner force on your legs, to lift your body. You can follow my way, I imagine that I have wings like a butterfly, then my inner power forms invisible wings, and begins to take me flying.”
“True, why did I not think of such a thing.” said Sungsang Geni, “I will try it tomorrow morning, I hope that method also successfully applied to me.”
After some time they exchanged stories, Cempaka Ayu finally began to fall asleep as well. The girl slashed down on Sungsang Geni's shoulders, and somehow the young man had no intention of teasing her.
He looked closely at Cempaka Ayu, then the young man gave a small smile and confirmed the position of the girl's body. Sungsang Geni then closed his eyes, regulated his breathing and began meditation.
A few meters away, Sabdo Jagat floated to see the development of Sungsang Geni training. But a little seyum soon fell on her lips, finding her sister fast asleep near Sungsang Geni.
“The cup, I came at the wrong time!” Say Sabdo Jagat, then go back to his hut.
